Action packed!

[lazs2]

The pizza map makes the infinity map seem action packed..  NB is fixing the infinity thing..  who is fixing the pizza?  or, as I like to call it.. "the long flight to nothing map"   Pizza has a little something for allmost nobody.

No offense to the AK's but I think, like Trinity I, it suffers from too many Vehicle Only fields. I'd think an easy transformation would be to change some of the V fields that aren't at the bottoms of canyons to airfields. Pretty much what NB did to Trinity II, I think.

There's plenty of fields in there, it just that too many of them can't launch aircraft, thus making it a long flight to a fight.

Still, you CAN find good action on Pizza.

It was an ambitious attempt at a big map and as a first try it came off pretty well. We just need more airfields.

And before you treadheads shift into "high dudgeon", remember that you could put an airfield where a vehicle field is right now (ok, maybe the ones in the bottoms of canyons excepted) with the same spawn points and still have all the same opportunity for tank clankin' action.

The fields are too far apart... irf there is a big fur at the end then either you don't know what a fur is or I have missed it every single time. or both.

I find that in the pizza you either don't find a decent fight all night (that's 2 hours for me) or... you find a rare treasure... a little corner where there is fighting and the (cough) "strat" guys haven't noticed ...  The fur is good but no better than on any other map and worse than most.   All in all it is too short on opportunity.   The amount of time spent on it is not as important as the result.

It is obvious how boring the map is by the buffer... the pizza is a chat room with kill messages showing up about half as oftern or less than on other maps.

I play during peak times.  I am not alone in my opinion and if you were observant you would note that the text buffer has about 2 times the chat and half the kill messages as the next worse map.  the numbers are down during pizza too so far as I can tell.

As I said... there are some rare times that a fur develops.  They are too few and far between.   The only good part about the map is the canyons and they are allmost never used anymore.

you aren't seriously saying that the map is action packed are you?

unless it is action packed.... there isn't "something for everyone".

It's because lassie's a jerk.  He can't help it.  It's his nature.  Pathetic, really.

Maybe some of his friends could get together and do an intervention.  If he has any.  Jerks usually have acquaintances, but very few friends.  And their friends are usually jerks, too.

Lassie, you're still a jerk.

Lazs... you really just need to stfu cause you're getting more and more rediculous.

You can find furballs easily on any of the maps.  The fields are no farther apart on AKDesert than any other map.

Now.. let's cut to the chase..

You aren't finding the type of furballs you like to find.  Now really... who's fault is that?  The map's or everyone else on at that time who just isn't willing to furball the way you like to see it done?

Sorry lazs... but your squeaking holds zero merrit.  You've become a spoiled brat that has a whole toystore in front of him, but still cries because nobody has designed the toy that will make you completely happy yet.  Sorry to break this to you... but that's simply not going to happen.

Either learn that in order to have fun, you have to work for a couple of minutes or continually insist that YOU shouldn't have to... only everyone else.

Pretty much done with your petty crap in this forum.  Maybe eventually you'll come up with something that isn't simply the same old squeaky rhetoric you've become infamous for.  But I seriously doubt it.

so deja... in your opinion... the pizza map would have the same k/h average stats as all the  other maps?   or.... are you simply saying that the reason for it's low k/h stat is because no one knows how to find a good fight or they are too lazy to?

unlike steamrollering or gangbanging furballs can't be forced..  they can be pretty much eliminated tho by map design.   if the opportunity is not there then there will not be furballs.   furballs only require the opportunity.   fields over a sector apart and with only 25% fuel make furballs allmost impossible.

I am advocating choice.   If that bothers you well.. too bad.  in the end.. it matters not what we think.  If we have a good idea it will probly happen.   I really don't know if you have any good ideas or not because you have never enlightened us.

maybe i am being a little harsh..  I am trying to land a kill in every fighter this tour without going over 6kagl .... the pizza map is not very condusive to this... it is definitely a late war map... also.. people are kill starved... when i am in a slow plane or an early plane with weak guns like the spit one or 202... even putting 3 second burst into a con won't get the kill...  the six guys that haven't seen a kill in allmost an hour are so starved that they "help" me by getting the threat off my 12.  I will probly mellow out in a couple of more game hjours when I will have gone through the entire planeset...

And that is as close as i get to an apolodgy.

I had a great time on AK Desert last night.

We flew a raid to bomb the Bish HQ, and after a hair raising takeoff trying to clear a bluff at the end of the runway, the group formed up.

We had 27 B-17s, 6 P-51's and 6 P-51s with Rockets.

The heavy ponies flew ahead and porked the fuel and barracks at the adjacent HQ base, to prevent 163's en masse, and quick rebulding of the HQ.

The 17's formed up, redevoued with the Pony escorts and Flew to target. En route, we were intercepted twice by Bish upping from bases along our route. Furious dgofights ensued with ponys chasing 190's through the bomber formations; tracers flying everywhere.

The plan came together nicely, as we took out the Bish HQ, with only 2 163's upping. The rest were standard fighters.

So in short, any map is what you make of it. The fighters had fun. The bombers had fun. The interceptors had fun.

Is'nt that what it's all about?

OHMYGAWD that sounds like one I regret I missed.  Muckmaw, would you please announce the next mission like that on Ch. 1 so I can get in on the other side??  I was probably screwing around at 87, and could have come on over...

Sorry, Shubby-

You need to watch that bar dar a little closer. I don't even tell my pilots where we are going until we make the last turn to target.

A squaddie made the mistake of posting a mission and calling it "Rook HQ Raid". Needless to say, the entire rook air force was waiting to meet us. Spies run amuck in this game.

Moot- Excuse my french.

np just helping.

[john9001]

but but muck , you don't understand, you had to actually FLY to get to the fights and that takes time and your K/H will go down and then you will be fustrated like laz.
